Xanic & Austin
Wedding Party
London Rideaux
Maid of Honor
London and I met in middle school but we really didn't become good friends until high school when we were both in the theater program. London is someone that I can trust to give me honest advice when I need it but also a good laugh. She always amazes me with her artistic abilities and is always there to lend a helpful hand. <3
Emily Stanevicius
Maid of Honor
I met Emily in high school when we were both in the Wizard of Oz and I remember how weird she was (and still is) and how I needed to be her friend. She's someone you can turn to for fun facts about any subject and can brighten up your day when you need it. <3
Crystal Zepeda
Maid of Honor
Crystal and I met in high school and became great friends instantly. Some of my favorite memories include singing at the top of our lungs during car rides and walking through Wicker Park during our hipster days (yikes). Crystal is always there when you need her and that is something I truly appreciate. <3
Ximena Lopez
Flower Girl
Likes: candy, Dolly (the dog) and eating pizza. Dislikes: pictures, taking naps and washing her hands.
Emilia Lopez
Flower Girl
Likes: candy, dancing to Bad Bunny and wearing sunglasses. Dislikes: being held against her will and sharing.
Hayden Hempel
Ring Bearer
Likes: being fed, jumping up and down and taking 20 minute naps (sorry Olivia and Conner). Dislikes: laying on his stomach, being held while you're stationary and sleeping though-out the night.
Evan Rink
Best Man
Evan and I met when he was one day old: He didn't talk much and liked to poop his pants. One of my favorite memories was when we hid the original Xbox under a towel in our shared bedroom since we weren't allowed to have it, and we thought we were so clever. I don't think it fooled Mom & Dad for long.
Ryan Yapp
Best Man
Ryan and I met back in the third grade when he moved into the house at the end of our cul-de-sac. Since we are both nerds we became fast friends. We started off making "top-notch" stop motion animation movies as kids, and today work together as corporate videographers.
Chris Porod
Best Man
One of the first interactions I had with Chris was after hours in Elementary school with an argument leading to me slamming a mucky fishing net over his head. We've made up since then, and later bonded over The Lord of the Rings movies.
